Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 1,382 I disagree. Mayfair Jackson was born on September 17, 1945, and is 2.03 meters tall. (Read novel) Graduated from the University of North Dakota and was drafted by the New York Knicks with the 17th overall pick. From the 1967-1968 season to the 1978-1979 season, he played for the New York Knicks for 11 years and the New Jersey Nets for 2 years. He won the 1973 NBA championship with the Knicks and was selected to the 1968 All-Rookie Team. Due to his deep interest in Eastern philosophy, especially Zen Buddhism, he is often referred to as "Zen Master" by the media.

In Phil Jackson's view, today's Los Angeles Lakers are the strongest team he has ever seen. The center has a giant in history - "Shark" O'Neal - and the power forward has the strongest power forward in history - Karl Malone. This inside combination is invincible, at least this year.

On the outside, although Payton is old, he still retains his power. Coupled with Kobe Bryant, who is known as the strongest shooting guard in the NBA after Jordan, he is second to none in the league in terms of defensive power and offensive power. As for the only weakness - the small forward position, Phil Jackson is not worried at all. There are already "four kings" on the court. At this position, all it takes is a blue-collar player with solid basic skills, no big holes in defense, and a good three-point shot. And this kind of players are everywhere in the NBA.

Finally, coupled with his exclusive "triangle offense", it was enough to sweep the NBA.

Of course, the reason why this team is not perfect is because of the feud between O'Neal and Kobe. The two are not at odds with each other in terms of personality, but in terms of power. A team can only have one boss. In the past two years, O'Neal was the well-deserved boss. That is undisputed. However, in the past two years, Kobe Bryant has risen rapidly and has become one of the league's top stars. Naturally, he will no longer condescend to the "second best".

The discord between the two has given Phil Jackson a headache. But fortunately, for Phil Jackson, who practices Zen meditation, this is not difficult to solve. As long as we continue to win, this problem will not arise. As the Sharks age and Kobe Bryant matures, this problem will be solved.

Of course, the premise is that you must keep winning. However, with the current configuration of the Los Angeles Lakers, it is not difficult to keep winning.

Phil Jackson glanced at the situation on the court. It was already halfway through the third quarter. The Los Angeles Lakers were constantly harassed by the Houston Rockets using "heart attack tactics", and the score was gradually narrowed. Fortunately, the strong strength of "f4" It's not that easy to defeat. Although O'Neal and Kobe are already a bit incompatible on the court, their strength is still there. Coupled with the efforts of Malone and Payton, they still lead the Houston Rockets by 6 points.

No matter what Jordan is doing at the moment, it is still best to expand the score first! ——Mayfair Jackson thought silently in his heart.

For the Los Angeles Lakers in front of us, in Phil Jackson's view, the only one who can possibly defeat them is the one he once coached.

The omnipotent "God" - Michael Jordan. Although Michael Jordan's aging has become more and more obvious in the past two years, Phil Jackson, who knows Michael Jordan very well, deeply understands that Michael Jordan may no longer be able to dominate a game, but he can dominate a quarter. The strength of the game is still there. In order to avoid further incidents and sudden changes, it is better to deal with the Houston Rockets as soon as possible.

Mayfair Jackson stood up and made a substitution gesture. Replace Kobe.

Kobe Bryant frowned. Now is the most stalemate time of the game, but Mayfair Jackson replaced him. Obviously, in Mayfair Jackson's heart, O'Neal is still more important. Thinking of this, Kobe felt unhappy. He has tried his best to prove that he is more suitable to lead this team, but in the eyes of Phil Jackson, no matter how much he does, he is still not as good as O'Neal.

Although having a great center can bring championships, the Michael Jordan era defeated the best center era in history as a guard. If Michael Jordan can do it, so can he. But, why didn't Mayfair Jackson give him a chance! ——Thinking of this, Kobe felt an unknown fire in his heart. Therefore, when he came off the field, he didn't talk to Phil Jackson. He just put on a turban and sat there with his head down.

Mayfair Jackson shook his head secretly. Today's Kobe is hardly as good as Michael Jordan at his peak in terms of skills and winning mentality, but his overall outlook is not as good as Michael Jordan's. The Rockets' current weakness is in the paint, and they are simply unable to withstand the combination of O'Neal and Malone. On the outside, the combination of James and Wade is enough to freeze Kobe Bryant. At this time, it is natural to choose to attack the inside.

Originally, Phil Jackson wanted to comfort Kobe, but after thinking about it, he might not be able to please him if he stepped forward at this time, so he gave up the idea. Anyway, as long as the team can keep winning, then this "ok" combination will always stay together.

At this time, although the Los Angeles Lakers were missing Kobe Bryant, the ball was playing more smoothly. The scores also gradually opened up amid alternating changes. When the third quarter ended, the score had grown to 10 points.

"Lin, the team seems to be in trouble. Someone needs to step forward now. Where is Jordan, where is he?" Jessica Alba, who was watching the scene worriedly, asked with concern.

Now as long as a senior fan can see that the current situation of the Houston Rockets is not good. After the Los Angeles Lakers lacked Kobe and their offense became smoother, the Houston Rockets didn't have any good solutions. The inside line was destroyed and torn to pieces, while the outside line that should have been opened up did not perform well because James and Wade were too nervous. If there wasn't much time left in the third quarter, I'm afraid the score would have been extended to more than 10 points.

A first grader, after all, a first grader, he is still too young! ——Lin Feng sighed.

James and Wade, who just entered the league this year, are really young. If it were the two of them three years later, I'm afraid the game would be completely different. It's a pity that the two of them are still too immature now.

Looking at the jubilant Los Angeles Lakers camp in the distance, Lin Feng frowned. What to do now? If this situation continues, I am afraid that the score will continue to widen after the start of the fourth quarter.

Just when Lin Feng was worried, the fourth quarter began. Just as Lin Feng was worried, O'Neal successfully hit the inside at the beginning of the game and caused a 2+1 foul, extending the score to 13 points. On the contrary, James' strong attack missed due to Malone's interference. Facing the most powerful power forward in history, Karl Malone, James' proud and strong body cannot take any advantage.

Then O'Neal succeeded in another strong attack. The current Yao Ming simply couldn't guard against the Shark in his peak period, and the score was extended to 15 points. Afterwards, Wade used his speed to break through, but in a hurry, he was intercepted by Payton. However, because Wade was too fast, Payton failed to control the basketball after the steal. As a result, the basketball went out of bounds and the ball went to the Houston Rockets.

There was a sigh of relief in the whole audience. The Lakers fans at the scene all understood that if this ball was scored again, the outcome of this game would be completely decided! It's a pity that it's just a little short.

Payton looked at his hands in frustration. The outcome of this game was originally determined, but unfortunately at the last moment, I used a little too much force and the basketball went out of bounds. But this is also because Wade is too fast, otherwise he would not have gone out of bounds.

Looking at Wade, who also looked annoyed, Payton sighed in his heart. This kid, as well as the strongest high school student in history, will probably be the protagonists of the NBA in the future. The Houston Rockets really selected some good players! The future belongs to the Houston Rockets!

But right now, they still belong to the Los Angeles Lakers. Before O'Neal aged, the Los Angeles Lakers were unbeatable! - Payton said proudly.

Start serving again. However, after James missed a strong hit and Payton stole the ball, it was obvious that Wade and others were in a low mood, and this was directly reflected on the court. The breakthrough was not good, the passing was inaccurate, and finally a sloppy outside shot failed. Naturally, the ball didn't go in either.

Fortunately, O'Neal's hard hit didn't hit this time. Playing again in another location, when Billups saw Billups starting to waver with the ball, Rudy Tomjanovich quickly called a timeout. The players' emotions on the court are obviously not right now. If we don't call a timeout and are beaten by the opponent for chasing points, it will really be over.

After calling the players to his side, Tomjanovich gave some inflammatory encouragement, but James, Wade, Yao Ming and others were still dejected. Obviously, coach Tomjanovich's encouragement was in vain.

Young players are young players, and it is easy to make mistakes and slack off. ——Tomjanovich sighed helplessly.

"Come on! Guys, don't let this game become a regret in your life. Yao Ming, play bravely, it doesn't matter if you foul! Boozer, you must help Yao Ming defend O'Neal. James, you are the strongest little boy Forward, be decisive. Wade, your speed is unmatched, you have to use your strengths. Billups, you are the only veteran player on the court, don't let me down!" Seeing that the timeout is approaching, Tomjae. Norwich quickly ordered. But I don’t know how effective these words will be.

As the timeout whistle ends, players from both sides take the field again. However, what disappoints Tomjanovich is that the players still have not improved and their playing is still extremely jerky.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, O'Neal made a shocking block and knocked James away with a tomahawk dunk!

The scene was suddenly filled with cheers like a roaring tsunami!

Awesome, really awesome! O'Neal is really awesome this time. But for the Houston Rockets players, it is undoubtedly shocking news. If James can score this dunk, it may be able to change the situation on the court and improve the morale of the Rockets players. It's a pity that O'Neal has been slapped away now. It can be said that it has dealt an immeasurable blow to the morale of the Rockets players.

Definitely win! - Mayfair Jackson smiled.

There was also a sound around the lake in Staples Arena, celebrating that the Los Angeles Lakers were about to enter the Finals.

Lin Feng's face turned pale. I didn't expect the game to turn out like this. Did he really overestimate the strength of James, Wade and others?

"Haha, Smith, look, I said the Los Angeles Lakers must win! The Los Angeles Lakers in front of us can almost be called the strongest in history." Barkley laughed wildly. But for some reason, Barkley felt a vague sense of loss in his heart.

Smith also sighed. This season belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers. As for the Houston Rockets, the future belongs to them. It's just a pity that Michael Jordan and other veterans will be disappointed again.

But at this moment, the Staples Center, which was originally roaring like a tsunami, suddenly fell silent. All fans looked in one direction—the locker room of the Houston Rockets players.

A man wearing the No. 23 jersey of the Houston Rockets stood there silently with a turban on his head. Although he said nothing, everyone could feel a strong fighting spirit emanating from him, as if he was standing there like a god of war.

Michael Jordan, that's Michael Jordan, he's back! ——Everyone exclaimed.

Since the second half, everyone, whether fans, players, coaches, or reporters, thought that Jordan was exhausted or gave up the game. Unexpectedly, Jordan appeared at this time. He appeared at the most difficult moment for the Houston Rockets.

Is he finally here! ——Phil Jackson's heart skipped a beat.

For some reason, Phil Jackson felt that the Jordan in front of him was extremely strange and familiar. This was a very strange feeling, which made Phil Jackson a little uneasy.

At this time, Jordan moved. Stepping on the heartbeats of all the fans, he walked step by step to the bench of the Houston Rockets, looked at Coach Tomjanovich, and slowly said four words-I want to play!

Hearing these four words, the five Houston Rockets players on the court suddenly relaxed. In the second half, they were too tired to support the Houston Rockets. Facing the powerful Los Angeles Lakers, they were almost out of breath and almost collapsed. Now that Jordan is here, it's all right.

Michael, haven't you given up yet! At the age of 42, facing 9 minutes of the game, a difference of 15 points, and your strongest opponent ever, have you not given up yet! ——Phil Jackson also stood up.

Malone and Payton also looked at Michael Jordan. Since entering the 1990s, in the past 10 years, it has always been Michael Jordan who has stood in front and blocked their dream of winning the championship. Does Michael Jordan still want to stop them today!

No, they can definitely let Jordan destroy their only dream again! —— Malone and Payton roared, and their eyes shot out amazing light.

At this time, Wade had automatically come to the sidelines, ready to replace Jordan.

But at this moment, Lin Feng stood up.

"Michael, I don't agree with you going on stage now!" Lin Feng said coldly.
